NYC hatchet jihadi: “Which is better, to sit around and do nothing, or to Jihad fisabeelallah!”

“Calls to the NYPD and FBI about Thompson and the hatchet attack were not immediately returned.” Of course. What can they say? This man is clearly a jihadist, motivated by Islamic teaching about jihad — his statement about how waging jihad is better than sitting around and doing nothing is reminiscent of this Qur’an verse: “Not equal are those believers remaining at home – other than the disabled – and the mujahideen, who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives.” (Qur’an 4:95)

But the NYPD under Mayor de Blasio has just severely curtailed its counter-terror efforts, caving in to pressure from Islamic supremacist groups, and the FBI three years ago dropped all mention of Islam and jihad from counter-terror training. So about a man like Zale Thompson they can say nothing.

“Fisabeelallah” — for the sake of Allah. Jihad for the sake of Allah refers in Islamic law specifically to jihad warfare.

“Sources: NYPD Hatchet Attacker May Have Been ISIS Supporter,” by M. L. Nestel, Vocativ, October 23, 2014 (thanks to Marc):

…Law enforcement sources we spoke with identified Zale Thompson as the armed man who charged at a group of NYPD uniformed police assembled on a street corner in Jamaica, Queens, at around 2 p.m. today. The 32-year-old Muslim, who lived in Queens, struck one of the officers in the back of the head with his hatchet and gashed another on the arm, the police said….

Law enforcement sources say a look into Thompson’s chatter online revealed he had ties to a radical U.S.-based radical Islamic leader who advocated aggression against the American government.

Last month, Thompson, who says on his Facebook page that he graduated from the Teachers College, Columbia University in New York, commented on YouTube:

“If you’re looking for ‘perfect’ Muslims who never make any mistakes in their Jihad, then you will be looking in vain! If the Zionists and the Crusaders had never invaded and colonized the Islamic lands after WW1, then there would be no need for Jihad! Which is better, to sit around and do nothing, or to Jihad fisabeelallah!”

Thompson’s comment was on a video explaining the idea of creating an Islamic caliphate, or borderless kingdom, which is ISIS’ ultimate aim.

Calls to the NYPD and FBI about Thompson and the hatchet attack were not immediately returned.

These officers were asked to pose for a photo, then they were caught off-guard.
The police wasn’t even on alert after the jihad attacks in Canada, negligence that these officers lives at risk. Major fail for the FBI, Homeland Security and NYPD.

Does anyone know what that Columbia Teacher’s College is up to? Are they populated with Ayers/Dohrn/Aliski/Wright/obuMboy zombies, brainwashing the next generation of teachers, to brainwash the next generation of Americans?

If you look at their faculty page, it changes format twice in two to three seconds. At first glance you can see Farah Sultana Akbar (who doesn’t LOOK like a jihadist), but when the page ‘organizes’ itself, she has vanished.

There don’t appear to be lots of moslems on faculty, unless they drop out through that re-organizing trick. But there IS a MSA; where ISN’T there one?

“As a supporter of students’ right to freedom of speech, expression, and opinion on a supportive [enabling] and facilitative [enabling] campus, the Columbia Muslim Students Association’s Executive Board expresses its extreme disappointment regarding Barnard College President Debora Spar’s decision to remove Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP)’s banner* without notification on March 11.

We stand behind the Center for Constitutional Rights’ letter to President Spar in stating that this is a grave infringement upon First Amendment rights. Our faith teaches us to pursue justice and fair treatment for people of all religions, [dhimmis?] cultures and backgrounds.

The removal of the SJP banner represses student voices and marginalizes them [They marginalize Jews or Israelis!] without cause. Given that SJP abided by all the official measures necessary to raise the banner, this reflects a systemic lack of resolve on behalf of Barnard’s administration.” [etc.]

A Message from President Fuhrman and Provost James on monitoring of Muslim students 2/23/2012

Dear Members of the Teachers College Community:

Many of you have seen news stories reporting that the New York City Police Department monitored the web sites of Muslim Student Associations at several colleges and universities, both within and outside of New York City. The reports also allege that the NYPD engaged in surveillance of Muslim students from many of these institutions.

We are writing to affirm that Teachers College has a steadfast commitment to opposing discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, religion, national or ethnic origin, disability, sex, sexual orientation, or gender. Our highest calling and our daily work mean nothing less than fostering a vibrant, nurturing community founded upon the fundamental dignity and worth of all of its members. Along with our sister institutions within the University, we are committed to protecting the fundamental freedoms of inquiry, work, and study for all members of this academic community.

The reported monitoring and surveillance of Muslim Student Associations are contrary to these core institutional values. We will do everything we can to support the rights of Muslim students, staff and faculty to pursue their aspirations under the rule of law in this country.

Sincerely,

Thomas James, Provost and Dean of College
Susan Fuhrman, President of College

I wonder if such monitoring would have prevented the vicious police attack?

I wonder if the police union or other agency can sue those people responsible for hog-tying our protection agencies like the FBI and police?

If Obama or Cameron had even a tiny little bit of sense and were actually behaving responsibly in their jobs, they would — IMMEDIATELY — turn to Robert Spencer and his work and EDUCATE THEMSELVES. In fact, both should IMMEDIATELY invite Robert Spencer in for an audience to help deal with this entire ISIS situation (and jihad terror around the whole GLOBE) correctly with real understanding of what is happening.

What will history say of these ASTOUNDINGLY irresponsible and delusional heads of state? Mr. Obama, Mr. Cameron — look at what’s happening in the world and in your own country all in the name of Islam. A THOUSAND examples, no, more — over TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND deadly attacks of jihad, all in the name of Islam, all quoting the Islamic texts, all follwing them exactly to the letter. How can you POSSIBLY look yourselves in the mirror and feel good about blindingly and recklessly defending this ideology you refuse to learn anything about from an independent expert who is right 100% of the time — ONE HUNDRED PERCENT RIGHT on Islam, and the actions of Jihadis in every case that comes up? Shame on you. The rest of your life knowing you could have really done something, spoke the truth for the world to hear, and you failed. You failed us, you failed yourselves.

So sad what happened in Canada; but at least Canada called it what it was terrorism. Here in the states they “danced” around the use of the words “Islamic Terrorism.”………how pitiful and sad….God forbid we might offend these towel headed goat humping SOB’s ….Political Correctness in all its facets will be the death of us all…..sad to say…

Don you are so right on. Well put. I especially liked that bit about the leaders of the free world ‘ defending Islam’. It is like in their minds there are two Islams. The ones that you shake hands with at state dinners and the rest of Islam in the streets.

He may have been ai ISIS supporter. YA THINK? Great detective work, since he belonged to the religion of peace.

The day is not far when any politician will be terrified to utter that BIG LIE (ROP) for fear of being laughed off the stage, pelted with tomatoes or worse. It can’t come too soon for me, but I greatly fear that it will only come after an event so horrible I don’t even want to contemplate it. THAT I can wait for. In fact, I greatly hope that it will be the prevention of this terrible act that will bring the day.

Someone needs to put together a pamphlet, “The Life of Mohammed” , simple, but with careful documentation from the koran and the hadiths for each horrible act he committed, participated in or ordered. It should be in pamphlet form and, of course, available online for free.

EVERYBODY should know the life of islam’s perfect man and it should be easy for ANYBODY to prove their case with sources muslims MUST accept with a paragraph or two on either side of the bolded reference point to prove that it wasn’t lifted out of context.

In fairness, the video with the story does entertain a possible “terrorist” motive for the axe attack and mentions his social media, without going into specifics of course or actually using the word “Islam”.

General tip for the MSM and law enforcement: if the perp says “jihad fi sabeel Allah” on his Facebook page, he’s at a minimum a potential terrorist. The Islamic bias in favor of violent jihad based in their theology is something like 90-10%, even giving peace the benefit of the doubt.

You get it Beagle, but do you get this? ALL our politicians are guilty of aiding and abetting our implacable enemy. Obama is guilty, but the Bushes and Clinton should publicly apologize for misleading the American people with the religion of peace crap and other nonsense.

IS has given us a huge gift, publicly exposing the true face of islam. WE have to stop our “leaders” from squandering that wonderful gift – of both parties.

Other issues aside, it should be political suicide to even utter that phrase (ROP). We can have our disagreement on other issues, but on this, we have to unite as Americans. It’s a matter of national survival.

Our challenge is not really IS – if we unite, we can crush them like bugs. The challenge is to stop our politicians from undermining our unity by spreading enemy propaganda.

Oh yeah, I get it. I rarely share where I think we’re heading thanks to suicidal PC, corruption, and cowardice in our leadership. Though you might be able to figure that out from the use of “suicidal”. I somehow made peace with my realizations years ago and try to stay in the moment. No point in ruining the only life you get bringing people down. There is only so much one can do trying to swim against denial.

One would think that these latest attacks, on top of the 24,000 that preceded them, would wake up these dhimmi politicians and police officials. They may not but I sense a rising tide among average citizens that enough is now quite too much.

Had we invited the Nazis in for picnics and denied their true nature the world would be considerably different now.

Converts, reverts, sympathizers and apologists should be deported to their paradisaical Caliphate ASAP.

Maybe some interfaith outreach to the Nazi Party would have done the trick? Otherizing the Nazis was so harsh. And to think, the Nazis only declared war on us once. Islam, through fatwas, has done it six dozen times since the mid-1990s.

It’s about the oil, Dave. We could be independent of ME oil in ten years if we made it a priority, and in the process we could develop technologies in alternative energy for export to bring back our manufacturing sector.

As long as congress is wholly owned by and subservient to big oil (4 billion a year in SUBSIDIES to the most profitable business in the world, AND they get huge REFUNDS on no taxes paid proves that point. Not to mention the tens of billions in military expenditures to keep it coming.) all our politicos will dance to the Saudi tune.

I can’t stand to read what is going on with this Islam problem sometimes. It is just too astounding for words, that not more is being done to protect non-Muslims.

It’s really up to non-Muslims themselves to ensure their own safety. What happens for those living in places where concealed carry is not permitted at all? Would it be preferable to just break the law and carry a pistol anyway? I mean, really…How should citizens be blamed for breaking the law when the leaders of countries refuse to do their job properly.

Jen, should you or anyone else break conceal carry laws, and be unfortunate enough to be found doing just that, “you” would suffer the consequences of breaking our laws.

The same laws you would be charged for breaking, protect the rights for the Muslims to practice there din in our nation.

Additionally, as anyone who knows a tick’s spit worth about Islam, knows, following the teachings of the Qur’an and thus following the examples provided in ahadith and sira are basic practices in Islam–mandatory ones.

The actions of today’s hatchet attacker in NYC, by this Muslim, are perfectly inline with those teachings.

Thus, simple fact we must regard: our laws, as they now stand, tip in favor of the devotee to Islam, and against all who openly and aggressively resist what respect for, or devotion and adherence to Islam calls for.

Yeah, in reality I know exactly what would happen to the person breaking the law and carrying illegally… But if the problems were to reach a certain level in these various places, I think some people would start ignoring the law in favour of having peace of mind. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that.

Jen …years ago I lived in NYC. I needed a target permit in order to carry a unloaded pistol in a locked box to an indoor range in Manhattan. The neighborhood was turning bad and I went from having an unloaded firearm to a loaded firearm in an UNLOCKED box; which gave me quick access to my gun if I had needed it. Thankfully it never came to that. I now live in a neighboring state but I STILL need a pistol permit….I can’t get a concealed carry permit. I have a permit to have my firearm and I will obey the law when I travel with it in a locked box but since things have changed around here, I’ll once again do what I did back in New York. I suggest you check your local laws, purchase a pistol or a revolver and get some training. Since my house has been broken into I now keep my gun within easy reach and its fully loaded….and in this state, if I kill someone who breaks into my house the state police have told me that “you tell the judge, you were in fear of your life” and “you won’t be charged”…..Pretty sad state of affairs our weak politicians have placed us in…. sad to say.

@gungadin I agree you…It’s unfortunate to break the law but I agree in dire instances.

I have family who live in a region where there has been Muslim violence and ongoing tensions. One day, in the middle of the night, these bastard Muslims ambushed my uncle’s house, dragged him and his wife out of bed and held them hostage along with various other Christians and non-Muslims from other houses. Another family member, a female, got caught in the cross-fire and these rabid sub-animals tried to murder her while she wanted to escape.

She didn’t have her own handgun, didn’t have any clue how to use one properly either- leaving her utterly defenseless. Not to mention that these cowards attacked during the middle of the night, and you’re disorientated from being asleep, rendering you even more helpless. Other family members owned handguns but they were just lying around getting dusty with lack of use/practice.

Where the circumstances and threat is dire enough and the law is not in your favour, I really wouldn’t hesitate to do what is necessary to protect myself. This goes for all women too. Get the license to own a handgun in the first instance, and then go to the shooting range and learn how to use it. Practice is needed so that you are comfortable with using it and can shoot accurately. It’s shoot to kill with these rabid sub-animals because you can bet they won’t be showing you any mercy. Especially, if you’re a woman! Gang raping etc……I think I’d prefer to die than suffer that fate. These non-Muslim women in the “Islamic State” can’t even use the bathroom after being raped so many times. Their suffering is incomprehensible.

Question: Is the ax in the photo above the same one used in the attack. They do not appear to be the same. The blade doesn’t appear to be the same shape nor does the length of the silver part of the handle above the blue hand-hold.
